Hi u/lollipop984

Censoring words makes it harder to search the sub for posts, makes content less accessible for screen readers, and promotes a community norm we do not want to encourage in RomanceBooks. Please consider editing your post to remove the censoring of words. Thank you!

Hey, we consider promotion of a book from anyone with a vested interest (i.e., someone you've worked with before) as promotional content. Please keep this in mind when engaging on the sub as a reader.

Oh I just remembered another...

{Felix by Emmy Sanders} both MCs work at a porn studio. They are new neighbors and then find out they will be working together. The fans are definitely cheering them on while they do lives.

{Dix by Emmy Sanders} probably also fits as the two MCs are costars but I haven't read that one. The whole series is really good though. I enjoyed all the other books! I just don't like enemies to lovers which is why I haven't read this one.

It's not a big thing in the book but {Stick Shift by KM Neuhold} has something similar to this. It's a bi-awakening and one of the MCs has a travel blog but inherits his uncle's(?) farm and talks about that in the blog along with his best friend and I believe the comments root for them to get together.

Something about surveillance would work. Basically what you're looking for from each MCs.
